	"Arjuna said, O my dear Kṛṣṇa, I wish to know about ''prakṛti'', ''puruṣa'', and the field and the knower of the field, and of knowledge and the end of knowledge. The Blessed Lord then said, This body, O son of Kuntī, is called the field, and one who knows this body is called the knower of the field."		"Arjuna said, O my dear Kṛṣṇa, I wish to know about ''prakṛti'', ''puruṣa'', and the field and the knower of the field, and of knowledge and the end of knowledge. The Blessed Lord then said, This body, O son of Kuntī, is called the field, and one who knows this body is called the knower of the field."

	'''Prabhupāda:''' Just like every one of us. I know, you know that, "This is my body," "This is my finger," "This is my leg." So the body is called ''kṣetra''. We have been allotted a ''kṣetra''. Just like the government distributes the land to a certain person, that "This is your land. You till it and grow your food," thirty ''bighās'' or something like that. This body is like that. ''Īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe arjuna tiṣṭhati'' ([[BG 18.61 (1972)\|BG 18.61]]). He is there within the body, and He is giving us this ''kṣetra''. ''Bhrāmayan sarva-bhūtāni yantrārūḍhāni māyayā''. So I have got this body. You have got that body. The dog has got body. The cat has got body. So He's everywhere. So according to his ''karma'' or desire, he gets a body. ''Īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānām'' ([[BG 18.61 (1972)\|BG 18.61]]). And he works. Therefore the body is the ''kṣetra'', the field, and the individual soul is the worker. So he is working and getting the fruitive result, but at the same time, God is also with him. But He is everywhere. I am not everywhere. I am one individual. Do you understand? And that is the difference between God and me. I cannot say what you are now thinking now, or you cannot say what I am thinking. But God knows what you are thinking and what I am thinking, what he is thinking. That is the difference. That is explained. ''Kṣetra-jñaṁ cāpi mām''. He is also within the body, but that is the difference between Him and you. You are limited within your body, and He is unlimited. He is everywhere. So how you can become God? Therefore one who says, "I am God," he's a fool. You cannot say what I am thinking now or what I am suffering. You cannot prove. But He can feel your suffering and feeling, and that is the difference. Here it is clearly said, ''kṣetra-jñaṁ ca''. ''Ca'' means "also." "Also" means "I am there." Not one; two. ''Kṣetra-jñaṁ ca api māṁ viddhi''. So God knows what I want, and according to my desire, He is giving me certain type of body—not directly, but through His energy, material nature. ''Bhrāmayan sarva-bhūtāni yantrārūḍhāni māyayā'' ([[BG 18.61 (1972)\|BG 18.61]]). He has got so many agents. ''Parāsya śaktir vividhaiva śrūyate'' (''Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad'' 6.8). So this material nature is also one of the agents. And He knows what I desire. He's very friendly, that "This living entity wants this, so give him a body like this." So we get a body. ''Tathā dehāntara-prāptir dhīras tatra na muhyati'' ([[BG 2.13 (1972)\|BG 2.13]]). So we have to change the body according to our desire. If we want to go to the higher planetary system, we can go. God will give us the facility. If you want to go to the lower planetary system, He'll give you. And if you want to go to Him, He'll give you. What is that verse? ''Yānti deva-vratā devān pitṟn yānti pitṛ-vratāḥ'' . . . ([[BG 9.25 (1972)\|BG 9.25]]).		'''Prabhupāda:''' Just like every one of us.

(verse). shastra batate hain, acharya log maante hain, Vyasdev maante hain, Naradji maante hain, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu maante hain, hum nahi maante, ye hamara durdasha (verse). Mahajan log bataye hain isko to maan liya jay, koi kathin hai, bhagvan khud aaye, swayam. Ye Arjun nahi bola tha (verse). Aur ye nahi hai ki aap hamara friend hain isiliye khushamadi karke hum bol rahe hain, nahi. Vyas, Narad, bade-bade rishi-acharya maante hain aur aap khud bol rahe hain (verse). Cut-short karke, ye portion nikal dena. Ek aadmi murgi kattha hai, usko daily ek anda chahiye. to wo vichar kiya, hamara sab anda le leta hai peeche se. To usi ko rakhkarke, kharca kuch khane kodekarke gala kat diya. Khayega nahi, kuch kharch nahi . . . to ye sab Gita ko chat-chut karke . . . jo Krishna ko manana padega wo person kaat diya, wo tattva vastu gyani hai. Isme kuch labh nahi hai. Wo anda bhi milega nahi aur murgi bhi mar gaya. We are presenting and eating, usme kat-chat nahi hai aur usme fayda hota hai . . . ye sab devotee ho gaya, sanyas le liya, sare duniya me ja rahe hai prachar karne. They have accepted ''Bhagavad-gītā'' as it is. Sab jagah me humlog ka branch hai, South Africa, South America, Australia, Europe, Amreica, Canada. Kitab likhte hain sab bhasha me. (asking devotee) how many languages we have written books? 30 languages. Aiiiye. Chinese, Japanese, Russian also . . .</span> <span style="color:#128807">(They are all appreciating ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'', ''Caitanya-caritāmṛta''. (to devotee) Just show the ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam''. You ask one person to show his nose, he will point to his nose, someone else will show in a roundabout way. This rascaldom is not required, same result. Show it directly, finished. If you ask a child where your nose is, he will point to his nose and say this is my nose, and others like this. This is not a difficult question. You ask the teacher what is the meaning of this. The teacher said . . . means that . . . more difficult words. What is knowledge of the truth?</span>
